03/27/26 16:20: Homely: Ohhh... this one was one of my all time favorites!
03/27/26 16:18: Homely: Saving this one for this year's Christmas tree hunt!
03/26/26 22:45: N Q: Thanks for the tip, I'm pretty sure one of my ip locators also has a traceroute tool on it. That should come in handy for the US cams that I'm having problems with, I'll do a traceroute before taking the ip to other locators.
03/26/26 22:31: opentopia: NQ another little trick is to perform a “traceroute” on the ip address. Search Google for “traceroute online” and you might find a few web versions of the tool - oftentimes before the trace gets to its destination you can see which country is the nearest “hop” by its extension, (e.g. .co.uk) or you can look up the isp’s name to see which country they serve.
I just ran this one and it’s come out as Japan, as the last hop reads .jp!! I’ll have to rethink this again!!
03/26/26 21:05: N Q: opentopia thanks for the info, I was really confused on how I could be so off with the country !
I'm finding that here in the US, that some of the ip# are coming back to the main head quarters of the isp server on some of the locators so I'm finding I need to check all 7 locators to find the correct state and city, it's especially happening to any of the webcams that use Verizon for their ISP.
03/26/26 20:54: opentopia: NQ I think we might both be wrong - in the top left is some Chinese text which translates to the town of Jingqiao in China. I think it’s one of those very high gain cameras which can basically see in the dark judging by how bright the street lights are. The time stamp correlates with that info too so I have set it to that. Thanks for sleuthing as hard as you do though!!
